Helen Mirren is undoubtedly one of the most successful British actresses of all time. Her list of roles is impressively long, as is the list of awards she has won. In an interview, the 76-year-old now talks about aging and what beauty means to her.

“The Beautiful Issue” (“Eine schöne Angelegenheit”) is the title of the special edition of the U.S. magazine “People,” which features Helen Mirren on its current cover. A powerhouse woman who, at 76, is far from thinking about stopping. Extremely attractive, extremely experienced in life, extremely successful. And a woman who has extremely smart things to say!

Helen Mirren: Beauty is Overrated!

“I actually don’t like the word ‘beauty’ (‘schön’); it’s too tied to the beauty industry for me,” “Page Six” quotes from the interview. With makeup, products, skincare. I think it excludes the majority of us–the majority who are not ‘beautiful’ in the classical sense.” However, there are plenty of other things that have just as much power as beauty. “I would love to see us celebrate those things,” Mirren is quoted as saying.
